The survey was based on methodology outlined in ASTDD's Basic Screening Survey and was conducted during the 2000–2001 school year. Schools were selected with probability proportional to 3rd grade enrollment size. One 3rd grade class in each school then was selected randomly and all students in that class were eligible to participate. A combination of active and passive consent was used. Of the 27 schools selected, 26 participated. Of the 507 eligible students, 410 were screened; the response rate was 78%. The estimates were not adjusted for nonresponse.
